Designs for a Friend
This project was an honor to be a part of. I sang at Gavins funeral. I am pretty close with his sister and family. Beautiful people inside and out so of course when they asked me to be a part of the designing of Gavins headstone i would do it. Gavin was an amazing person and very in-tuned with himself before he past. He too was an artist and one of my memories of him was his fridge painting he...

Tattoo Seasons | Photo Shoot
I feel real lucky to have been invited to take pictures of this tattoo season. Keone Nunes is a world renowned tattoo artists. His kind of Custom means a lot more then you going into a tattoo shop and picking out your designs. Nope, Keone does it the way i feel it should be done. I sat and listened to him talk to people that wanted work done. He got found out some things about them that helped...
Events By Alice T-Shirt

Twilight Moms | Swag bag Bookmarks
It was fun making this design. I worked on it with my wife who is a member of the Twilight Moms site. They are having a great premier party for the Next Twilight movie. I got hooked up with a nice chance to make the swag bag bookmarks. Its a ticket to claim the swag back shirts on one side and a promo for COLD (Create Out Loud Design) on the flip side. Fingers crossed and I hope i get a job or two...

Vehicle Magnet
Sometimes the best way to promote on your vehicle is with a custom magnet. This works well when you dont just use your ride JUST for work. If you dont feel like promoting 24/7 then this is always a good option. Here’s a little peek into a quick magnet job for Modecor Corporation.

T-Shirt Designing
Designing T-Shirts is something I’ve always had a passion for but never the time for. The market it so crazy with T-shirt print shops but rarely do you find places that have great designs for an affordable price. Anyways, enough venting haha. My favorite place online to check out shirt designs and ideas is Design By Humans. I hope to build a portfolio of shirts that i’ll try to get...

Large Prints | Banner
Yup thats a pretty big “ace” banner. Personally the biggest I’ve ever pieced together myself was about 30 feet long by 8 feet tall. This one was about 12 feet long by 4 feet tall. Used up a lot of grey in there. This was a re-created idea. The folks at Larry H. Miller gave me a mouse pad looking thing that had this graphic but in square form. I re-created the pad into a banner...
Commercial Window Graphics | Larry H Miller Ford
I recently did some work for Larry H. Miller Ford in Salt Lake. I did the layout design which was pretty simple but i think came out best for this project. One thing i did which was a first for me was i got to install these as well. Each panel is about 45 wide by 24 tall. We installed these on a total of 24 windows.
I was real worried about getting the install in right as with large decals you...
Neck Brace Graphics | Motocross Graphics
Today i got to see another one of my Motocross Graphics take full effect on a neck brace so you know i took pictures of it :). Here’s a little taste. Real fun making these and i think they look epic actually ON the brace.
Animated Signature
I’ve been wanting to learn how to make these for a while now. Today i hunkered down and figured it out. A friend of mine (Omi) has been wanting a signature like this where her name get written out so i thought I’d give it a shot. Pretty fun and i think this tool and its potential will become a great asset.
your not going crazy this does have a twicth in it. This was my first ever...

Gription Music | Logo Design
So a couple months ago i was worked on a logo for Gription Music Productions. They now have their site up and running and they are moving on to some great things. They had a style and shape that they wanted the logo to be in so that was nice. Direction when doing logos is always a plus! Here are some screen shots of the logo implemented on their site.
Global Acquisitions | Concept
So this turned out to be more a concept then a followed through idea but i thought it would be fun to show you a little of the process of how i created this.
First we have a little photoshoot. Note the Popey shirt :). Nice! haha. A nice clean shot of the hands like so:
then its on to photoshop and a good clean image of the earth. REMIX! Mix the two together and you get a nice Global...

Wasatch Auto requested a logo but had specific guidelines as to the shape of their logo. A company named Truck World owned the lot before Wasatch...

Business Cards
It’s rainin business cards!! One things i’ve enjoyed doing for clients is helping them with professional looking print material. A business card is a great first impression.

Pilioha | Album Photos
Pilioha is an amazing three piece Hawaiian Band. I was lucky enough to be asked to take photos for their album cover. We met in up at Kahana Valley where these guys have genealogical ties too and we had a quick afternoon shoot. They wanted this picture to have the wall in it and for them to be leaning over it which was kind of tuff to capture. What you dont see are the guys standing a good 3 feet...
